whatwhat say what

cool, more commentary from the broom closet in dorcas st, south melbourne, every time it's a game not at the mcg or docklands

fwiw, i share brad johnson's visceral reaction to poindexter whately asking him if he'd bought a membership... "no! they're an opposition club!! they're going to be coming for my beloved bulldogs' players...i'm not supporting them!" gerard really wasn't expecting it, and followed up and brad was all "how're you going to feel when they start poaching cats' players?" he had no real answer

it's not an experiment imo he's in our best team and he'll get up to speed faster in the afl than he will at casey

the notion of having multiple training ovals for our four sides is such a huge change i'm very curious to see how the filth, the tiggas, and the baggers manage it all with just the one oval available to them; i imagine the filth will just take over gosch's area again, while highgate in craigieburn was meant to provide those future ovals for the tigs - a facility that hume council spent massive $ on back in late 2000s only for gale etc to turn their noses up at our 30 year lease with casey is such an important part of the future strategic footballing direction of the club and our four sides

maginness to tag clayton or viney?

burgess effect incoming

seeing anyone other than us winning

security guard way too fat to bring him down and too blind to see him run onto the field of play

spargo was out injured with his achilles as well two forced changes, three dropped (all justified)

this sounds like a job for petit four

crom mate reckons they are gonna pay big bucks to make petty their #1 defender in 2025 and beyond two first rounders kplsthxbye

i think both @BDA and @Jibroni are referring to the crypto score review the crypto one crypto

did liam henry do his hammy in the last few minutes? that would be a massive blow for the aints; he was excellent

my only from memory of arctic park was allen jakovich tearing either shane heard or alan ezard a new one in an elimination final from memory, jako was quiet in the first half and then exploded

i very much doubt he wants to suit up for flagmantle

friends of mine have specialised nicknames for some players... judd mcvee - chris (although apparently he doesn't like it) tom mcdonald - plugger (cos of his kickin action for goal and cos he can 'plug' any hole) taj woewoedin - woey 2.0 (for obvious reasons) ben brown - sideshow bob (cos of his former hairdo and the resemblance with a certain simpsons character)

afl maintain this should be a broadcast cost, not an afl cost the afl won't pay for anything that they absolutely positively 100% don't have to

That’d make the leg up that the two northern franchises got look like chicken feed

It’s not really about who ‘pays’ tho; it’s about whether it’s counted in our salary cap for the next six seasons or not

“Is #34 free?”

Some talk that north hosting flagmantle might dip below 15k attendees… that’s gc17 / gw$ levels

jack seemed like a lovely fella, and i am sure he was great fun to party with but it's easier to forget in the wake of his career that he was dropped by every senior coach he had i personally doubt if, given the rigour that goes into draft pick selections these days, he would go close to being drafted in the first round

how good are the academy kids we have with us? what's the odds on those nga kids sliding past pick 40 and into our clutches?

filth? crom? flagmantle us bloods footscray? pear gw$

on replay, sparrow seemed to have a defensive role on johanissen for large parts of play, which seemed to work quite well i would be amazed if sideshow bob isn't playing - he was excellent with his long leads, sticky fingers, and ability to bring the ball to ground
